One thing I notice is just how educated these guys are about geopolitics and history - it's fascinating mostly because one of the common criticisms I hear about the European system of basketball is that they pluck their athletes out of school and into basketball academies, turning them pro when they're in their teens. Sounds like they still get a pretty good education.
I digress .. anyway, interesting read.
